Showerthought: went with pocket screws over dowels for the shop cabinet frame and I'm second guessing it
I built a 6 foot workbench cabinet frame last weekend in my garage in Boise and had to pick between pocket screws and dowels for the joints. I went with pocket screws since I already had the jig and it went together in under an hour, but a couple of the joints pulled slightly out of line on the face frame. The whole thing is solid now that it's clamped to the wall, but I keep walking past it and seeing that little gap. Should I have just taken the extra time with dowels, or is this just how pocket screws go on wider stock?
